After rain and snow and more rain, Friday started with fog which gave way to sunshine and an afternoon temperature of 62F – a Spring day!

And after my brief foray into packaged food, I got back on my “make it from scratch” path and made my own taquitos (Baked Breakfast Taquitos) for breakfast.

Last night a cold (well, cooler) front whooshed through. I heard a bit of thunder in the wee hours and this morning is gray, rainy and blustery.

So, I decided on a bit of lemony “sunshine” in the form of Lemon Sticky Buns. I’d seen Mel’s Kitchen Café’s Lemon Sticky Buns and they were on my list of things to try.

Mine are not as pretty as Mel’s since I used a mix of whole wheat pastry flour along with the white flour (1/4 whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 white pastry flour and 1/4 all purpose white flour) so my rolls are light brown vs white.

But, they are good and tender and flaky! And next time, I am going to try adding some dried blueberries. Currants would be good also. Or dried tart cherries…

Lemon Sticky buns … a nice bit of lemony sunshine on a gray and rainy weekend morning.

***I also subbed goat cheese for cream cheese in the glaze. I’ve subbed goat cheese for cream cheese before. I use a mild goat cheese – the logs from Costco and I like it better than cream cheese in whatever. It goes especially well with the lemon.
